LORD LISMOItE'S DIVORCE BILL Mr. ADAM, as Counsel for Lord Lismore, was heard in reply in the Invorce cake, Lismore v. Lismore. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it was, perhaps unfortunate that their Lordships , had adopted the practice of al lowing Divorces, in any case, after voluntary 'separation. But as it was impoisible to trace back their steps, the principle on which their Lordships hail acted must be applied here; and he was bound to say, that he never saw a casein which separation wasinore justifiable. He could not get over the evidence which had been laid before their Lordships; but after giving this as his opinion, he. should. leave them .to deal with the Bill as they pleased. The Earl of LIMERIC moved. the ,second reading of the Divorce Bill, which was carried without - a division, and the Bill ordered to be taken into' further consideration on Monday next. ABOLITION or SLAVERY. Petitions for the gradual abolition of Slavery were presented by his Royal Higlmess tblv•Duke.l,..Slotteester ? from Manchester, signed - by 4409 persons fronfl'etiaCair, ttriffellalltie," and a place in alierdeenshire'; by the Eati of Rosslyn, from Inverkei thing.; 'by Lord Melville, from the University of St. Andrew's, and from the borough of Pittenweem. • , Earl GROSVENOR said a few words, relative (we understood) p 3 the Manchester petition, the purport of which was not under stood beloW the bar. The Duke of ATIIOL and Lord ARBUTHNOT presented several petitions against any alteration in the Banking system of Scotland. Mr. Cartwright, and.others from the Commons, brought up the Local Jurisdictions' (Ireland) Bill, and several Private Bills. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. Lord KING rose to present a petition to their Lordships from the Catholic Association, though he believed he must not call it by that name. He would say,.then, that it was a petition from the Ghost of that Association ; and he believed the ghost would be found quite as terrific as the Association. itself in its material form. The ghost was not yet laid, in spite of the exertions of all the Right Reverend Prelates opposite, who were so powerful at laying ghosts, even though they had been zealonsly supported by the Noble and Learned Cord. The petitioners complained of the great abuses which., existed in the yOrporate towns of Ireland. He could state, not from the Petition, but from the evidence given on oath before their Lordships, that abuses—flac. , rant abuses- . •:'-did exist. From, that evidence it appeared, that the Provost of Tralee was in the habit of taking particular sums of money for giving bail. For a capital felony he charged ten guineas; for a minor offence the charge . was ave. It appeared in evidence, also, that if the Magistrate was convicted of such of fences, he was not - displaced ; if prosecuted on a criminal indict ment, the Magistrate was not dispossessed. There were other abuses 'in. these Corporations.. Between thirty• and forty years ago, the Catholics were by law permitted , to belong to the Cor poration of Dublin, but in fact they were . always kept out of it. He had, last year, presented a Petition from an individual who had undoubtedly a right to enter this Corporation, but who, be ing a Catholic, was rejected. Another person, of the name of Cole, had obtained •a • mandamus, but he died. The Catholics were not permitted to be Magistrates in any Corporate towns in Ireland. They could: neither, be Mayors, Sheriffs, not Common Council men. The Petitioners wished to see the monopoly-of the Corporite bodies:;clone-aivay.; ha,. fearing that their LordShipl would not go along- with them, they prayed that- their Lordships would take some measures to rectify the abuses complained. of.— The Petition was then read, -and appeared to be from certain'Ca tholiesin Ireland. - . The Earl of LIAIERIC rose to set the Noble Lord tight in one particular.. In the city of Limerick there was a Catholic gentle man-a Magistrate. Lord KING said, by the new rules 'in all the large .C4arporate? towns, no Catholic could be either a Mayor, a Sheriff, or Com mon Councilman. Some little conversation ensued on this point, and it turned out that the individual in question,. aM. Roche, had been made a Magistrate,.of Limerick by the Government, under authority of a special Act of Parliament passed.for the ver y purpose of remedying the abuses of the Corporation of Limerick. Lord CLIFDE.N supported the view of the Noble Lord, that Catholics were excluded from the Corporations. He reminded their Lordships that he had predicted they could never be able ty put, down the Catholic Association by their measures. That Association spoke the, sentiments of one-fifth, or, as some said, one-third of the ; population, having a common object; and they were no more to be put down except by removing from the eta tute4ook the last remnant of those laws which were a disgrace to it, than the sun was to be stopped in its course. Ire reminded their Lordships of what bad passed in Ireland in 1782, and pre dieted, that if their Lordships went on, year after year, denying the., Catholics' juts` claims, a time of difficulty would come, when the. Catholics would extort from fear what was denied to justice. —Adjourned till. Mnnday. . HOUSE OF COMMONS. MISCELLANEOUS. The New London Bridge Bill passed through a Committee of the whole lioUse ' the Report was r e cei ve d; .a n d ordered for farther consideration on Tuesday next. Mr. CURTElS'presented a petition from the Hop Planters of Christchurch, in Kent, praying for a reduction of the duty on Bops.—Ordered to be printed. Lord 'A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the Corpora tion of Tailors .of Glasgow, praying for an alteration of the Corn Laws.—Ordered to be printed. POTTERS REGULATION BILL. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON. presented two petitions against the Potters' Regulation Bill, front several persons connected with the Staffordshire Potteries; and from the Dealers in Earthenware of this City of London. Mr. LITTLETON said, that after the Hon. Member had pre sented the petitions, be would beg leave to withdraw his notice for the second reading of the Bill. SirGEO. CHETWYND also had a petition, signed by up wards of two thousand persons against the Bill, which he begged have to present at the same time with that of his Hon. Friend. Mr. LITTLETON was astonished at these petitions, because he could assure the. House that, previous to bringing in the Bill, he had visited the potteries in Staftbrdshire, and when the Bill was proposed, to them, had not found a dissenting voice. • lie beg gedleave to read a letter which be had received - a short time ago front some of the principal manufacturers, in which they assured him of their unanimity on the subject, at the same time ecomplain .htg of the unjust manner in which signatures to petitions against the Bill _were obtained. Sir G. CHETWYND explained; he had received the petition f rom Mr. Spode, one of the most respectable merchant* connected with the Staffordshire Potteries; and he felt assured that Mr. Spode would not have recourse to any thing unfair. Mr. LITTLETON• moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Potters' Regulation Bill, for the purpose of die charging the order. After a few observations from Air. SYKES, the Bill was or dered for a second reading this day three months. Sir R. SHAW presented a petition f rom the Potters of Dublin against the Bill.—Ordered to be printed. CURRENCY. Sir A.-.I#OPE presented a petition from Linlithgow against any alteration in the currency of Scotland.—Referred to the Committee. Similar petitions were presented from Old Deer in Aberdeenshire, and several other parishes in the county of Perth, by Mr. Gordon ; and frOm a parish in Scotland, by Lurd A. Hamilton. The petitions were laid on the t iblay and teferred to the Com mittee on the Banking, System of SeCtirind mid Ireland. SLAVERY. - . V. BUXTON presented a petition from the second United CongrePtion Of Associated' Ministers of Dunce, Against Sla ver y . Also from Kirkwall, St. Andrew7s, *Peterhead, Dunse , Selki rk, -and several other parishes in Scotland, by Mr. 1 311 xT 0- $ f r om Whitehaveu, and a parish is Cumberland, by Mr. Cu" Eri ; LICENSED VICTUALLERS' BILL. Mr. HOBUOUSE Presented a petition from the most respect able Licensed Victuallers of the parish of St. James's Westminster, praying for an extension of the hour of shutting up beyond half past eleven, which was the time prescribed by the present Act. The petitioners, he said, were of the most respectable class of victuallers, and, owing to a regulation of the Act passed in 1822, were liable to be fined in a penalty of not less than, six pounds for keeping open their houses at Unseasonable hours. The classification of unseasonable hours was different in different parishes,'so that-where one man could keep his house open to a certain hour, another would be subjected to the penalty if he closed his house within half au tour, or thereabouts, of the saute time. This restriction of shutting up sins confined to what were termed public -houses, but -oyster-shops s saloons, .• and taverns, were exempted from this regulation. -ft WWI th 4 almost im possible for a quiet tradesman to einjoy . the conveiaation of his friends or neighbours in the patient ofd tospectable victualler's, on account of his not being ...shis - tcv - .'gig completely. .free from business till the hour presertled r k e :his !Act for the exclusion of customers. The Petitioners f u jolted, that since the Act came into force, they had -loot l i iaineitalltileen pounds a night by this regulation, out of which seven . pounds at least would have gone to the revenue weekly. He. hoped the House, when the Hon. Member for Orford brought in his Bill on the same subject, would extend the hour later than the one ordered by the present Act. After a few observations front Mr. Es. WODEHOUSE, Mr. ESTCOURT assured the House that he had thought it fit .to introduOe the words late, in the evening or early in the mornitig, merely for the purpose of preserving the tranquillity of the neigh bourbood in which such houses were situated. This order, how ever, did not extend to travellers, who could be admitted at any 'hour without the victualler's being fined for thus admitting them. He had revised his Bill, and had found it not calculated to answer all the ends he had proposed it should do, and would therefore withdraw it, and allow the present one to go on. fir a year longer, at the end of which period he should have framed another, better calculated than the one he had intended to have brought forward this Session. He did not mean to say that the present Act was a perfect one, it was far front it; but in the prevent advanced state of the Session, it would be too late to frame an Act sufficiently well digested to enter on the Statute Book. He therefore begged leave to withdraw his Bill, and at a future period would give no tice of his intention to bring in another. Mr. MONCK. supported the Petition.—The Order was then discharged. Mr. ESTCOURT postponed the second reading of. the Ale house Licence Bill till this day three months. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. S. CAREW presented a Petition from the Catholics of Wexford, praying for Catholic Emancipation..--Laid on the table. CItEEVEY presented a similar Petition from the Inha bitanta of the Parish of St. Audeon, Dublin. He hoped that the unanimity which at present existed between the two countries would not be disturbed by the adoption of those measures which were ingrafted on the Bill of last year relative to Catholic Emanci patiOn.—Laid ou the table. Mr. S. Rtcx presented a Petition, signed by several Protes tants; Noblemen and Landholders of Ireland, complaining of the penal enactments against the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and of the injury to that country resulting from the Penal Code. They humbly prayed the House to devise some' remedy against it, and thereby relieve the country from the difficulty under which it was labouring. The Hon. Member also presented a similar Petition from Kil kenny, and two other Parishes in Ireland.—The Petitions were ordered to be printed. - RATES OF POSTAGE IN IRELAND. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from the Merchants of the Town of Belfast, complaining of the rates of postage in Ireland. The letters were charged with Eitglish poitage,, and afterwards with Irish postage. A letter which would be carried the same. distance in England, and be charged Is. 4d., was charged es.,' which was a very serious difference, Sir .1. NEWPORT supported the Petition; ho held in his hand a statement of the different sums chtrged for postage in, Scotland and-Ireland. He found that the postage of a letter, to the further part of the county of Kerry, was charged 2s. ; whilst a letter •to thefurther part of Aberdeen, in Scotland (tlw sante distance) was only charged ls. Bd. Complaints had been made Session after Session, but no notice had been taken of them, and he hoped that the House would .do something to cheek this gross imposition. • Mr. GOULBUFtNAupported the Petition. He could assure the Hon. Member that as soon'as the Report of the Post-office Commission was laid on .the - table, something would be done to remedy this abuse, which he trustad would be to the satis.: faction of all parties. Ile did not see any reason for charging more for the carriage of a letter to Ireland than to• Scotland. Ho knew, however, for a fact, that the carriage of a letter for 18Q • miles in Ireland cost as much as the carriage of the same for 400 miles in Scotland. Tie was ready to support any thing that could be devised to abolish this inequality of chargea. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said, he had repeatedly called the at tention of the Post-office Commission to the subject, but had never received any satisfactory answer. He hoped the subject would be attended to during the summer. Sir JOHN BRYDGES said, as one of the Members from the North of Ireland, he rose to bear testimony to the truth of the allegations of the Petition, setting forth the grievances ; and he was happy to hear from the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, that the matter would speedily be investigated,Und a remedy ap plied. After a few words fr.:ln Mr. WALLACE and another Gentleman, which were inaudible, the petition was read, and,,uPon the motion of Mr. S. RICE, ordered to be printed. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from' certain inhabitants of the comity of Cork against the duty on copla.—Laid on the table.. A Message from the Lords announced that their Lordship. had agreed in various Private Bills. Also requesting leave for the attendarniance of J. GLADSTONE, Esq., to give evidence before the Committie, inquiring into the system of circulating Promissory Notes below the value of M. in Scotland and Ireland.—Leave was given. Mr. ItErrn DonoLas presented a Petition from Dalkeith against city alteration in the Stock Curreucy.—Referred to the ,Cominitt se. _ _ Mr. D tprEN - soat praying fur th e Ab o li t i on o f Sl a v e ry. • presented a Petition from the city of Wells, COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. svus rose to present a Petition upon a subject which had claim( id much of the attention of the House. It referred to the practice of the Court of Chancery ; and although he would not go so ,far as , to. express himself in the language of hie HonourabbtYriend, (the Member for Aberdeen), he would say that the Court ofChancery„ if not a curse, was any thing but a bless ing. He meant no personal disrespect to the Noble Lord at the head of than Court, but from all be knew of it he had no hesit-i -tiou in describing it as a public nuisance. The party from whom the petition pine was no suitor of the Court, but a Gentleman who had long pr0ct. 1 .—.... the profession of an attorney with great credit and reapeculbility; The petitioner was Mr. Richard Garland, of Kingston-upon-Hull. .The gravamen of his complaint to the Howie was, that in the year 1814, having been engaged profes sioually in a-cause before the Court, his costs were taxed, and the items allowed to hint by the Master, and paid; and that in 1 846, twelve years after, the caw hail been re-opened by an order of the Coutt, and he had been called upon to have the same bills taxed again. The ilacuments relating to the case had been lust, and he was not in a situation to go into it ; bit he had, liowevers travelled up from Yerlothire, and in ohndiencw, to the order of the Lord Chancellor, Z,orivented to have the cost re-taxed. The reetrli Was, that alth oug h h i , hail attended week a ft er week, and month after mo n th, U pon d ie M as ter, only three abillings and Nix pence had been taken off, aid that was upon one item of eight shillinge and six pence. In .eilnseeptenee of the delay of these proceedings, the petitioner had retitrreal home an entirely ruined men. The Hon. Member stated, l has he had. put this petition into the hauls tithe SolicitorsOeuere4 end he defied him to disprove any of its allegations, or to aronivs. the case. The. SOLICI.TOR.IGENERAL said, .that the petition hatl been put into his hands, and he had examined it, although he had not been able to make. any further inquiries into the case. lie considered it as a part of a systematic attempt to hunt down the 'Chancellor. The complaint here was, -that because an Attorney's Bill had been unfairly taxed, the Court had, .ordered it to be re-taxed. The case was this :—Mr. Garland took a bond of his client, by which he was bound to pay his untaxed costs, which every gentleman in that House knew to be illegal. In the next place, the costs were taxed when there was no adverse party remaining. As soon as the adverse party had revived in another person, an application was made to the Court, and in the judg ment given by the Lord Chancellor he said that the Bills had been unfairly taxed, and that upon principles of public justice he would order them to beye-taxed. This was one of the c;.ses upon which the Court of Chancery was declared to he a curse to the country, and upon which the Chancellor was libelled and calum niated. Mr. HUME said, that alter taking time to reconsider what fell from him upon a former" evening, he would deliberately repeat what he then said. - Any institution which denied justice to millions of the people of this country, and inflicted it mental torture which no one couldknow but those who had to suffer it, deserved to be desisibed,- as .Isis Jlon..frieud had described it, as a public nuisance. Under the semblance of a COUrt of Jus tice, it was a ,Cpurt'a Injustice, and a Court of Iniquity. That' House ought to have put a stop to the proceedings of such a Court long ago., The Hon. Member for Surrey, in his zeal to support the Court of Chairaet:y,h.al called it a bkSsing to the country. God preserve him front such - blessings !--(Laughta..) i.—The injustice of the Grand Signior was not so great as tVin justice.of the Court of Chancery. He inflicted immediate death without torture; but here a mental tortur, was inflicted in every possible shape. • Was it not a shame that thirty-nine millions of 'e property of the people of this country should be locked up in Chancery, while they were, suffering eve!y species of di,itress and privation? It was easy to see what would became of this money some time or other. The Chancellor of Abe Exchequer, or Some successors of his, would find it useful fortheir purposes; and it was lying there as a nice nest-egg for them. It was safe wider the lack of the Lord Chancellor, and it would never come out while he remained, and the institution continued in its present state. :He would repeat; that the institution was a curse, and he could not separate from the institution those who directed and main. tained it. . . , , Mr. GREEN (we understand) made an observation, which was not audible in the gallery.-=-Theivtitioh having been read, Mr. SYKES said, that.. the Honontable and Learned Gentle man seemed to think nothing of \ the time that had passed before thiCcase was re-opened. Twelve years Were. nothing to the Court of Chancery—they reckoned by generations. He denied that the Honourable and Learned Gentlemen had made out any answer to the petition. The . SOLICITOR-GENERAL expressed., his ,surprise, that a Gentleman of the lloppun44la Alemler's judgment and discern meat, should undertake and continue to stipPort a petition which shew.Hl upon the face of it that the petitioner had acted illegally, and charged for copies_ which he..confesae4 litv,had never Made. The Petition was ordered . to be printed. Lord '41.11.T0N presented three Petitions from places in the Cmuities of Northampton rant York, preying for the Abolition of Slavery.--Laid on the table. Sir J. NEWPORT moved to postpone the Order of the Day for the further i;onsideration of the Report of the Bribeyy Elections Bill, till Tuesday next.—Order postponed. ADJOURNMENT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved.that the "House, at it, rising, do adjourn till Tuesday next: —Agreed to. SUPPLY Mr. GOULBURN moved the bringing up of the Report of the Committee of Supply. - - Mr. MIME said, that the Report contained a Resolution grant ing the sum of 7,0001. to be placed at the disposal of the Lord Lieutenant for publishing Proclamations ; and this he would state was used for the purpose of bribing those papers which supported the Government. From the returns of the circulation of the Newspapers in Irolaod; he should ha able to show e*astipb, of, what he had asserted. BY an arrangement made by Mr. Welles- . ley Pole, two papers, the Patriot and the Correspondint, from being opposition papers, went round to the Government for the sum of 2,0001. a year, which had ever since been paid to them, with the exception of a recent reduction of about one fifth. . Ile could prove the payment of regular_ sums of money to the feyoured Newspapers by individuals in .tho Secretary's Otliee. In some of them the same Proclamations were published twenty-six, eiglitivn, twenty-two, and fifteen times. Another 'curious cit... cumstance with tepid to the country papers was, that me ar ,rangcments.were made- for them by the Members of Parini inept, .and the accounts were made out as between the Govern ment and the ,Members of Parliament. Front the returns before the Howie, he would chew that the comparative suits of money paid to the various papers were in proportion to the political sup part they, gave, to Government, and 'not to their circulation. • An Athlone paper; circulating 1,950 stamps in a year, received 1181. fur advertisements. The Patriot, circulating 80,000 Stamps, was paid 8324 ; while the Dublin Evening Post, circulating 242,000 stamps, received the large sum of 181. 15s. ! The Correspondent circulated 5%276 stamps, and received 415/. ; and the _Evening Mail which circulated 800,000, did not receive une farthing Vile would ask if any further proof were wiEting to show that this money' was used for the purpose of bribe R , ? After some further ohscrvitionS, the Hon. Member said he should take the sense of the llonse upon the motion. Sir J. NEWPORT thought it would be an expedient plan to repeal the duty on advertisements, and to compel the newspapers to insert . Government proclamations gratuitously. Ile did not like an idea which had been suggested, of confining them to the. (gazette The'duty upon advertisements he conceived to be highly injurious to the dissemination of intelligence.. • , Mr. GOLTLIIMIN said, that the lion. Member for Montrose /was never More unfortunate than when he spoke of bribery a 9 committed by him ; for the instances adduced certainly related to a prod when he was not in office. The lion. Member took his statement of the amount paid to a newspaper from one year, and of its circulation from another. The suns paid war) 'six, and not ,seven thousand .pounds; two thousand of which went to the Gnzetle, leaving only four thousand for all the other papers; and, according to the English pmctice, the .money de voted to the purpose of proclamations would have been 9,0001. HO had never made investigation of • the petty charges of news papers, having been occupied with muck snore important official cancans, and het could assure the lion. Gentleman, that if he were equally' occupied, he. would find it impossible to attend to such trivial subjects. What could he (Mr. Goulburn) get by bribery of the press ? Was there not a proof of his innocence of the charge in the frequent . attacks which _were loads all hint throttith the medium of, the..preas? He was quite unconscious whether the Mago.ifournal or the Kerry Eroding Post were Opposition or Government Papers. The faciliti of the Honourable Gentle man's reasoning was very remarkable. He said that the Kerry Evening Post was a paper of Sir Robert Shaw's, and that the money was paid td Sir Robert Shaw... Now the fact was, the • Kerry Evening Post was a .country paper, and Sir R. Shaw hap pened to be a Dublin banker. It was necessary for the paper to have a banker in Dublin, and Sir R. Shaw being the one appoint ed, the money due M the paper was paid into his bank. HO was as free from corruption as the Ifnu.. Gondeinan, who was •quite liable to be deceived by relying on the inforination furnishiA him by persons in public offices, who thereby betrayed . the trust re posed in them. • Mr. ELLIS said, the imputation that the Masters in Char eery, gave their advertisements to certain Papers . from political motives, was totally 'unfounded. For twenty years, he (Mr. this) had filled the office of a Master in Cliatiwry, and the selection of the papers was never nifule by him, but by other Masters, and that entirely with a View to • the circulation bestealeulitted to ,give publicity :to., their Advertisernetits.

On the motion that the Church Retest .in Ireland Rill should be re-committed, Mr. SPRING RICE, after slew observations, moved that it should be an instruction to the'Cominittee, that a clause be intro—' dined empowering the Protestant parishioners to assess the re-; spective pariihes for wisistin.' towards the building, enlargement, ,and repairs of Presbyterian'Meeting-lieuses and Roman Catholic chapels.' icir. GOTTLEURN - said, that be Was particularly anxious to; guard himself from the inisconstrUction to which he might be liable, if in resisting this motion b emore frepently adverted to Roman Catholic Chapels than to the Itle,ting-houses of other classes of Dissenters. He assured the House, that if :ca should be led to do so in the - Course of his argument, it would only be beCause he felt that this ClauSe if adopted, Would chiefly in practice apply to Romp Cuthulje phew s of worship, and not be= cause he considered the professor 4 of th:Lt. Nth leas entitled 'to the advantages Conteinplated by it, float Dis,-eot,rs of every other . de scription. He objected to the clause, upon the broad principle that it went' to . ft distinction' whidi had always existed in Lyour of the Established Religion. The present Bilkwas duccd with a view to correct the'evils arising' from the' misappro pri. ation of parochial airassinetits, an 'objeCt which, be might Yeu,., tore to say, bad obtained the general approbation of the He had not introduced this Bill, becaus, be wks hiSeitsible• to the benefits which might 'result from 'dis Vie th e 'hands of Protestant Vestries, but he bad to choose between the public,' benefits to arise fro% a diScretionary power, • and the priS . bable abuses to which it might lead. The Bill took away no 44 power from the Vestries. The power which had been in some in stances exercised, of making compulsory assessments for the objects the proposed clause bad in view, was always illegal. Neither did the Bill create any obstruction to the voluntary, contributions of individuals, for the purpose of building or repairing either Homan Catholic chapels, or Dissenting meeting-houses. Re deprecated the inconsistency of conduct in which they would. be 'misled by the adoption •of the - clause. Parliament; whilst it declined upon. principle to assist directly and openly perfettnttnee of 'sec tarian worship, would by this clause give in implied recommen dation to vestries to do so, a recommendation which, in the circumstances in which Irish Voitriesi were generally placeti, would operate upon them in effect as a compulsory inundate. Who was to impOse a limit to the discretionary liberality of Vestries? lie could not consent to give a • power to the majority of a Vestry of displaying their liberality at the .expeoce of others--...a power of compelling the whole body of the parishioners to contribute to ass object which might be patronized front the genii:lie feelings of li herulity, but which might also, in sonic insLuces, be patronized from interested motives. The poor psi ishioiier; whose goods wets diitrained,..or whose cattle were impounded in cousegitence of this. discretionary assessment, would, he apprehended, be much di.- posed tnascribe the vote of the Vestry tar other feelings than libe rality. It was compulsory upon Vestries -to 'make assessments for the repairs of Established Churches, And the parishioners had the right of appeal, but what appeal could be provided against improper assessments under the proposed Anise ? Who was to check the excesies. or measure the degree of that voluntary liberality of which Parliament had ssnctioned the in dulgence? If this diseontioning power was to hi granted to Vestries for the repair of Catholic Chapels, why not also for the maintenance of Catholic Priests? Why not for aiding the funds of Bible .Societies ? Why not for any other purpose of bene volence. Ile asserted that the house had no right to make those distinctions. By granting discretionary power:;, they would re move every security against improper assessments. If this clause should form part of the Bill, the 'applications to Vestriee .in In.. land would assume the tone of demands, and it would promote any thing rather than conciliation. It was not fair towards Pro. testant Vestries to place them in so 'painful and difficult a situa tion. If the objevt..of the clause was one fit to be encouraged, the duty of VeStries ought to be compulsory' and fixed, not discretionary and undefined. It was not difficult to imagine cases, in which it might be extremely important to persons at the head of Vestries to stand well with their Catholic neighbours, and in which the liberality which the clause perinitted them to exercise, might become subservient to the purposes of populsrity. ' For the reasons he had given, he thought it his duty to oppose the clause. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, thut he could not refrain from contrasting the conduct of this liberal country with that of the comparatively barbarous state of Hungary, where nu person was CX;11111elled to pay towards a religion of which 'he did not approve. lie knew that in the city of Chigher aseesamonti had beep made fur the purposes which the clause had in view, under the eye of the Bishop; so that, in effect, the Bill as it, now stood would deprieil the Vestries of a power width they bad beers permitted to exercise. There did not appear to be any objection to Vestries taxing the Catholic people, for the• purposes however extravagant of the Protestant Church,.as in the case of St. Peter's. Drogheda, where houses had been built at the public charge for the Parish Clerk and Sexton. • Sir R. I.C. INGLIS supported the clause. He thought the offerings of private benevolence a preferable mode of attaining the object, but as it could not be adequately accomplished by such means, he would not withhold from Vestries the power of assessment. Mr. Secretary PEEL rose and said, that the greatest advan tages arose from the people being subjected only to definite charges. He objected to the clause, because it left the charges - entirely inde finite; He quite agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet in respect to the instance he had mentioned on a former occasion, of great quantities of wine having been bought for the use of a church, and in respect to that he had:mentioned to-night of houses being built for the Parish Clerk and Sexton. These were both instances of gross abuse, and it was a great`advantage of the present Bill that it put a stop to such pioceedinga. They were creating, and must of necessity create, a little Parliament in every parish ; but unquestion ably they ought to limit' its powers. If they thought that poor rate* tight to be introduced into Ireland,- let them meet thequestiont fairly.
